Chapter 28

The fire in the cellar was almost extinguished and when the scholar jumped down, he stumbled and almost fell. Luckily, Qian Mingying's sharp eyes and quick hands tugged on his arm, preventing him from falling to the ground. But just that one tug was enough to make the scholar panic. Just how much strength did this lass have? The scholar felt as if his arm was being clamped by a pair of iron pliers.

"Thank you!" The scholar stood up and quickly thanked them. "Wait a moment, I …"

Before the scholar could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Qian Mingying. Qian Mingying pulled on her cotton coat to cover the gap that was revealed when she helped the scholar up. Qian Mingying shook her head and said, "If I were you, I wouldn't waste my breath. They'll be back in a while, you should go change your clothes first!"

The scholar turned around to look at Qian Mingying. In Qian Mingying's eyes, the scholar couldn't see the innocence of a little girl. Instead, it was like a black hole. If he looked at it for too long, he felt as if he would be drowned in it. The scholar's heart palpitated and he quickly retracted his gaze. He softly acknowledged and returned to his den. Qian Mingying carried Tian Xiaoku and jumped down from the Black Bear's back.

"Stay here and lie down. If you dare to run, I'll see you try!"

Qian Mingying waved her small hands. Hei Xiazi whined and curled up on the ground. At this moment, the sound of barking could be heard from afar.

Qian Mingying saw the shameless dog run out from behind the tree. Qian Mingying saw that the shameless dog was fine and her face lit up. But she still used her foot to lightly nudge the shameless dog and said helplessly, "You!

You're really shameless. You only know how to avoid danger. But since you know how to follow, you can also lie down! "

The shameless dog rubbed against Qian Mingying's trousers and followed behind Qian Mingying with its tail tucked in.

"Put me down!"

Although Tian Xiaoku liked this warmth very much, Qian Mingying was not big after all, and he always felt embarrassed when he was hugged by that body.

Qian Mingying blinked his eyes and said emotionlessly, "There are no more big cotton-padded jackets."

Therefore, Qian Mingying continued to walk and hug her in whatever way she was supposed to. She didn't care how awkward her posture was, as long as she didn't feel cold!

Qian Mingying walked to the stove that was made of stones. There were a few wooden stools there. Qian Mingying sat down and hugged Tian Xiaoku on her lap. Seeing that the fire in the stove was about to go out, Qian Mingying picked up some firewood and added a few more pieces. After a while, the fire burned brightly. She then saw the scholar, who had changed his clothes, walk over with a few bowls in his hands.

"You haven't had breakfast yet, right?

Have some rice soup first! "Xiucai scooped some porridge for Qian Mingying and Tian Xiaoku.

Qian Mingying sized her up. Xiucai wasn't very tall compared to other guys, but because of his well-proportioned frame, he didn't look very short. This might be the reason why her disguise wasn't discovered.

Under Qian Mingying's gaze, the scholar lowered his eyes unnaturally, as if he was a little wife who had been bullied. Actually, the scholar felt that under Qian Mingying's gaze, he felt as if there was a thorn in his back.

"Have some rice soup!"

Xiucai handed one of the bowls to Qian Mingying and Tian Xiaoku. The bowl was filled with millet soup, which was called millet oil. Most people knew that after millet was boiled, rice soup was the most nourishing.

Since Tian Xiaoku was in front, she reached out to take the bowl. However, she didn't drink it herself. Instead, she quickly turned around and handed the bowl to Qian Mingying.

Seeing this situation, the scholar hurriedly took out a leather jacket that he had put under his armpit and placed on a wooden stool beside him and handed it to Tian Xiaoku. "Sister, thank you. Hurry and put it on."

Tian Xiaoku frowned slightly. She didn't want to leave Qian Mingying's side right away, but she couldn't just sit there like this.

"It's fine."

Tian Xiaoku still took the jacket and put it on. However, Xiucai's leather jacket was a little too big for Tian Xiaoku. Before Tian Xiaoku could button it up, Qian Mingying pulled the jacket off and hurriedly helped Tian Xiaoku put on the jacket.

"Your bones aren't good. Be careful of the cold. Don't get sick again!"

Qian Mingying said as he put on Xiucai's leather jacket. Although it looked bigger on Qian Mingying, Qian Mingying seemed to have a wild temperament. This leather jacket seemed to be very suitable for him. He looked even more handsome than Xiucai.

"What about you?" Qian Mingying took a sip of the rice soup and handed it to Tian Xiaoku. Qian Mingying looked at Xiucai and asked.

This soup seemed to be more suitable for Tian Xiaoku's body. Qian Mingying had gone through the first stage of the Body Refining Stage, so his body needed more energy. In terms of energy, meat contained more energy.

"Me?"

The Elementary Scholar paused for a moment. She held the bowl in her hand and saw that it was half soup and half rice. She took a sip and the heat from her stomach warmed her up.

"Yes, you!

Don't you want your feet?

Why don't you change them? "

Qian Mingying took the bowl from Xiucai and drank it all in one gulp. It seemed that the slightly hot rice soup was not hot at all.

"Eh!"

The Elementary Scholar looked at his feet which were close to the bonfire. It was precisely because he wanted to use his feet that he did not change out of them. Now that he could no longer feel his feet, he still felt a little numb and painful. When he was in the cave earlier, the skin on his ankles had frozen and stuck to his leather boots. It was extremely painful when he pulled them, hence he did not change out of his shoes.

Qian Mingying shook her head and rejected Xiucai's offer. This pot of porridge was not enough to fill the gaps between Qian Mingying's teeth.

Thinking that Tian Yitu and the other villagers of Datian Village would need to rely on the hot soup to maintain their lives, Qian Mingying did not drink any more.

"If you continue to roast your feet, they will be crippled!"

Qian Mingying smashed the black porcelain bowl in her hand against the pile of snow behind her. Then, a large amount of snow was scooped into the bowl.

"Give me your hand!" Qian Mingying said to Xiucai.

"What?"

Xiucai did not understand. Qian Mingying could not tolerate other people wasting time in front of her. She grabbed Xiucai's hand and wiped the snow from the bowl on his hand. Then, she rubbed it vigorously. Qian Mingying's hand, which had just warmed up, was being treated so roughly. Qian Mingying's hand was naturally strong and did not have the concept of gentleness. One must know that there were specialized medics in the Interstellar Force. There was no need for Qian Mingying, a general, to do anything.

Tears rolled out of Xiucai's eyes from the pain. When Qian Mingying felt that it was about time, Xiucai realized that his hand, which was previously numb and warm, was now much more flexible than before. The red and swollen area from the cold seemed to have disappeared.

"Ah!"

Xiucai waved his right hand in astonishment. He did not dare to believe it. She knew some methods to rub the snow after being severely frozen, but she felt that she did not need to rub it with snow. However, Qian Mingying's actions and her right hand, which was much more flexible than her left hand, told her that she should do the same for her other three limbs. She raised her head and blinked, looking at Qian Mingying.

Qian Mingying scooped up another bowl of snow and passed it to Xiucai. "Drink the porridge and rub it quickly. Your heart is damaged!"

"Ah?" Xiucai did not understand. Aren't you going to rub it for me?

"Haha!" Qian Mingying laughed, thinking that Xiucai was thinking too much.

Qian Mingying looked at Tian Xiaoku, who was sipping the porridge. She poured another bowl of porridge from the pot and passed it to Tian Xiaoku without hesitation. Then, she carried Tian Xiaoku and placed her on the back of the bear. Then, she jumped onto the bear herself.

"The rest is none of my business!

If you want to move your arms and legs, quickly rub them yourself! "

As she spoke, Qian Mingying patted the bear's back. Hei Xiazi felt the pain and quickly stood up. Under Qian Mingying's instructions, they walked towards the direction of the cave.

After walking a few meters, Qian Mingying suddenly turned around. "They have to do the same when they come back. As for the rest, just drink some hot soup!"

After saying that, Qian Mingying really left.

Xiucai held the bowl in a daze. Didn't she say that she would help until the end?

After a long while, Xiucai remembered how this girl had violently beaten up Hei Xiazi. She was a vicious person, why would she want to save people?
